Our Prime Minister has been invited by the President of America, and immediately even dates were also announced for the US visit by our PM. US has always been an unpredictable in its foreign policy towards India and Donald Trump takes this unpredictability to the next level. Of late, there is feeling that India is drifting towards US which is placing strains in our relationship with Russia which has been a reliable ally throughout. Our PM has visited Russia few days ago to maintain balance. With my little understanding what I feel, we should follow a simple rule that in foreign policy we do not have permanent friends or permanent foes. Peace in Afghanistan is still elusive so there is possibility that that US policy towards Pakistan is going to be more or less same,and therefore India should tread cautiously.
The Trump's ban on immigrants from seven Muslim countries is a symbolic gesture on his tough stand on terrorism. As such US will not be safer from Islamic terror, than before because he has left out countries like Pakistan, Saudi, and Afghanistan which breeding grounds for terrorism. US needs to address gun violence which is also a form of terror, which we notice many incidents in the recent past. The stalwart President from same Republican Party Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation to free the slaves, risking his own life, in 1863 but now Trump who occupies same chair has signed an Executive Order to stop immigration of seven Muslim countries basing on unfounded religious prejudices. It is going to be a great disservice to his own country and to the civil world as well.
While Trump's patriotism is understandable he shouldn't forget the truth that US IT industry owes so much to the millions of Indians but for whose penchant for innovation, creativity and tireless undaunted efforts it might not be what it is today. After all Indian brain power cannot be ignored.
